The artists and musicians make so much money. Does it really matter if I download a couple of songs for free every so often?
It may seem like it doesn’t matter if we only download one or two songs illegally. That’s only pennies to artists, right? Imagine, however, if everyone downloaded just one song without paying for it. This would amount to millions of dollars lost for other people who have worked on the song including songwriters, mixers, engineers, marketing people, musicians, and the list goes on. Therefore, downloading even one song makes a huge difference in the health and future of the music industry. Even if we only download one song illegally, it’s still, well, illegal.
